Nancy E. Davidson, MD, during her
Presidential Address yesterday, spoke of both the accomplishments of scientific
and clinical research - which have contributed to an annual 2% decline in cancer mortality and a growing
population of cancer survivors - and the multiple challenges facing ASCO (American Society for Clinical Oncology) in the
coming years:
This article was sent to me by the American Society for Clinical Oncology where more than 15,000 oncologists from all over the world gather to listen to talks and visit ENORMOUSLY expensive Pharmaceutical exhibits (paid for by patients).
It is unimaginable that 2% is considered EXCELLENT but it is. In any other area of life, this would be seen as absurd. But oncology has its own rules.
Visit our website and encourage anyone with cancer to do so as well. Our meeting Second Annual Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Cancer Therapies will be held January 8-10, 2009 in West Palm Beach, FL.
